At least you are trying. Credit due to you.

But I swear I've seen it written like that - c with a hook below. Not at all?

Now I am confused too:? What about Ercan, that has a hook below the c making it Ershan, doesn't it?

Thanks, Bubbles. See, I'm not the only one. I was told by a Turk that the "c" with the hook below it is pronounced like the "sh" in English.

wrong

C with the hook is the ch as in chair.

Okay, let's see if I have this right:

c = j

c with hook below = ch

s with hook below = sh

How is "s" with no hook below pronounced?
